I think neither of the following have been mentioned yet. I'd like to see Tinn Tam's Song of the Trees and Grinning Lizard's Unforgiven finished.

EDIT: Also, 50caliberchaos' The Sword and the Sorcerer comes to mind as something in need of a sequel.

 

I agree with a lot of the fics already named. Not sure if any of these have already been mentioned:

In Light of Silver Memories by Taliath

Sistat Inter Bitu pe Marvos by Cervus

A Clock on the Face of Hell by IdSayWhyNot

Catharsis by nuhuh


Harry Potter and the Nightmares of Futures Past by S'TarKan

Deprived by The Crimson Lord

C'est La Vie by cywscross

The Prince That Was Promised by cxjenious

Alexandra Quick Series by Inverarity

 

Pretty sure PTwP isn't abandoned. There was a thread dedicated to it in the Library, but some people couldn't keep the speculation/shipping discussion to a minimum and Minion went and did what Minion does. Last I heard cxjenious needed a new computer/laptop, so story writting was on hold until then.

 

As of about a month ago, book five's up to 157k words and he's still making (slow) progress on it.

 

Good to know, for both stories. Not sure I buy the fact that PTwP won't be abandoned, but I truly hope I'm wrong.

 

I was reading Knowledge is Power almost immediately after chapter 1 came out. I don't think I had joined DLP yet, and I was looking for people to bounce some story ideas off of for HP&BWL. Fettucini and I had a few really good PM conversations about the broader HP universe and what we disliked about Canon.

It was really unfortunate the way he just dropped off the grid and deleted his account. I sent him one last PM after he deleted his story, but I never heard back. At the time, I thought his fic would be the re-tell that made it through all 7 years.

Thanks for the continued love, Pers! I never really stopped working on the story, and I have a few chapters written out. I am hoping my schedule will lighten up closer to the holidays so I can finally post something. I also need to get ahold of my old beta group and see if 1. they are still alive and 2. interested in reviewing the story.

 

It's going to be a good christmas this year.

 

Misericorde and Lily by Perpicacity, the sequel to Dagger and Rose you can't read anymore.

The Thief of Hogwarts by Bluminious8, It's aged well but never finished.

There's no Tomorrow by moeexyz, a groundhog's day style community story.

The Neverending road by letitbur, The only good Hikaru no go fic I know of.

All of Morta's Priest's work.

Harry Potter and the Arcana

Swinging Pendulum by cywscross

 

Who knew that all you had to do to get authors to come out about why they haven't been updating their stories was to make that shit public.

 

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!!!!!!!!

Best news of 2014.

 

Quoted for truth.

On topic, I loved Harry Potter and the Hero's Path when I discovered it, and it has held up relatively well considering it was made in 2006, and it was the second to come to mind (after Hp&tBWL by Santi), so that would be mine if I could pick any.

 

I third this.

And I didn't search to see if this has been mentioned in this thread before, but I'd love Heart of Darkness by Cka3ka to update. It's been abandoned for a while (last update was in 2009), but still, one can hope...

 

Holy shit Santi's alive!

 

Goddammit, now I have to read BWL again.

 

Thirteenth Stepping by Rymrock(Rym) - (HP/Starcraft Crossover) Because we don't have enough quality HP/SC crossovers.

 

Fucking seconded.

 

Holy shit, this. I was trying to remember the title and was drawing a total blank, so I'm glad you posted. If you haven't read Anarkia, you're doing yourself a disservice. IMO it's aged fairly well for a story that was started 9.5 years ago and definitely has a fascinating AU.

My pants are uncomfortably tight.

 

I'd love to see an update to Harry Potter: The Last Avatar by the Sorting Cat. Awesome fusion of the two universes, and it was just getting to the meat of the story with the tournament.

 

There's quite a few already listed here, the one above being an example, that I would either have liked to have been continued or am awaiting the months and years to get some freaking update(s).


I can only imagine the reception these will have, but two of the big fanfics I hated to see dropped like hot potatoes, and one that updates slower than a turtle with two bad legs, were;

• "All Roads Lead Back" by pandiesboxx. Just when it actually seemed that Harry & Hermione were going to officially start down the road to actually getting together after all that fucking angst, too, if memory serves correctly!
• "Harry Potter and the Acceptance of Fate" by Arya1. Might have been first time I read Harry given leadership-in-waiting of the Order in a believable and 'realistic' way, plus it was Harmony.
• "Unlike a Sister" by MADharmony. 9 month anniversary of last update, for a story that's averaging an update just under every 6 months. I seriously don't know why I bother with WIPs... but I do. Really get to bump up my re-read counts that way, I guess. *siiiigh*.

 

Great to hear! (Incidentally, if you need someone to pinch-hit as a beta, shoot me a PM.)
